The Truth He Carried Alone

**Ethan’s POV**The morning light wrapped around Ava like it belonged there. She lay curled on her side, one hand resting over the small swell of her belly. Her breathing came slow and even. I stayed still beside her, watching the way her lashes brushed her cheeks. For the first time in weeks the weight on my chest felt lighter. No sharp edges. No constant anger. Just her. The baby. This quiet space we had started carving out together. I brushed a strand of hair from her face. She stirred but did not wake. My fingers lingered on her skin. Warm. Soft. Mine. The thought settled deep. I had spent so many nights convinced she had stolen my future. Now I lay here wondering how I ever looked at her and saw anything but the woman carrying my child. My phone buzzed on the nightstand. Once. Twice. I glanced at the screen. Private number. The investigator. I slipped out of bed carefully and walked to the balcony. The city stretched below, already busy. I answered on the third ring.

Silent Fears

**Ava’s POV**The car moved smoothly through the afternoon traffic. I sat in the back seat, one hand resting on my belly. The baby had been quiet today, but every small flutter reminded me how much had changed in the last few days. Ethan’s touch. His apology. The way he held me like I mattered. For the first time, the penthouse felt warm when I left it. I told him I wanted to see my parents. He kissed my forehead and said he would be back before dinner. His voice sounded normal, but something in his eyes had stayed distant after that morning call. I pushed the thought away. Today I would enjoy the peace. The driver turned onto a quieter street lined with brownstones. I watched people walking dogs and carrying shopping bags. Normal life. The kind I used to think was simple. Up ahead, a woman and a man stood on the sidewalk near a small grocery store. Their voices rose above the traffic noise. The woman clutched a plastic bag in one hand and a toddler’s hand in the other. Her shou

Quiet Warnings

The front door closed behind me with a soft click that somehow felt louder than it should have. My mother’s hand stayed on my arm as she led me through the familiar hallway toward the living room. The house smelled the same as always, a mix of fresh flowers and the faint scent of whatever she had cooked earlier. But today the air carried something heavier.Sandra was already there, sitting on the edge of the couch with her legs crossed. She gave me a quick smile, the kind that did not quite reach her eyes. Clara’s car outside had not been my imagination. My older sister sat in the armchair by the window, legs elegantly crossed, looking every bit the composed socialite she had always been. Yet something in her posture felt off, like she was holding herself too tightly.Mom guided me to the sofa and sat down beside me. Her fingers brushed a loose strand of hair from my face the way she used to when I was little. For a moment she just looked at me, her eyes searching mine with that quiet

Sweet Promises

**Ethan’s POV**I sat in the shadowed corner of the hotel bar, staring at the untouched coffee that had long gone cold. The grand lobby of The St. Regis New York buzzed with its usual quiet elegance — guests in tailored suits checking in, soft laughter echoing off marble floors, crystal chandeliers casting warm light over everything. But none of it registered. My eyes stayed fixed on the entrance, waiting for any sign of Clara or the man the investigator had mentioned.Two o’clock came and passed. Then two-thirty. Three o’clock. The minutes stretched into what felt like an eternity. My shoulders grew tense from sitting so still, and the anger that had fueled the drive here slowly shifted into something heavier, more restless. Empty.I checked my phone again. No new messages. No updates from the investigator. No photos. Nothing at all.The longer I waited, the more my thoughts drifted away from Clara and straight back to the penthouse. Back to Ava. I pictured her exactly as I had left

Hidden Sparks

**Ava’s POV**Sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse, bathing the living room in a warm golden glow. I woke up slowly, still wrapped securely in Ethan’s arms. His body was pressed against my back, one strong arm draped over my waist with his hand resting protectively over the small swell of my belly. The ache between my thighs from last night lingered in the most pleasant way, a sweet reminder of how he had carried me to bed after the burnt dinner incident and shown me exactly how much he had missed me.I shifted slightly and turned my head. Ethan was already awake, his dark eyes watching me with that soft intensity I was slowly getting used to. No cold mask today. No distance. Just quiet warmth that made my chest feel full.“Morning, baby,” he murmured, his voice still rough from sleep. He leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to my forehead, then the tip of my nose, and finally my lips. The kiss lingered, slow and tender, as if he had all the time in the

Gentle Doubts

**Ava’s POV**The morning after our friends left felt softer than usual. I woke up with Ethan’s arm still wrapped around me, his hand resting on my belly like it had been there all night. The baby gave a small kick right under his palm. He stirred, pressed a kiss to my shoulder, and murmured something about making breakfast. I smiled into the pillow and let myself enjoy the quiet warmth for a few more minutes.We moved to the dining table later. He had ordered fresh mango like he promised, along with toast and eggs. We ate slowly, talking about nothing important. Every so often his eyes would drift to my belly and the corner of his mouth would lift. I caught myself watching him more than the food. This version of Ethan — the one who remembered small things and stayed close — still felt new. But it felt good.After breakfast we stayed on the couch. He pulled my feet into his lap and rubbed them gently, his thumbs working out the slight swelling. The television played low in the backgro

Office Teases And Heartfelt Thoughts

**Ethan’s POV**The conference room on the top floor of Van Horn Tower smelled like fresh coffee and the faint leather of the chairs. Sunlight cut through the blinds and laid stripes across the long mahogany table. Oliver was sprawled in his usual seat, one leg bouncing while he scrolled through his phone. Ji-Hoon leaned back with his arms crossed, nursing a bottle of water. Jae-Min stood by the window, staring out at the city like he was thinking about something far away.We were supposed to be going over the quarterly numbers for the new merger. Numbers I had asked them to look at. Instead the conversation had drifted, the way it always did when the four of us got together.Oliver tossed his phone on the table. “So the deal with the London group is basically locked. They want another meeting next week, but I think we can push it to the week after. Give us time to breathe.”Ji-Hoon nodded. “Smart. We’ve been running nonstop since the wedding. You especially, Ethan. You look like you

Unwelcome Visit

**Ava’s POV**The penthouse felt different after the friends left. Quieter, but in a good way. The laughter from yesterday still echoed in my mind — Oliver’s loud jokes, Sandra’s bright giggles, the way Ji-Hoon kept looking at her when he thought no one noticed. I woke up with Ethan’s arm draped over me, his hand resting on my belly like it was the most natural place in the world. The baby gave a soft kick right under his palm. He stirred, pressed a kiss to my shoulder, and murmured, “Good morning to both my girls.”I smiled into the pillow. “You don’t know it’s a girl yet.”“I have a feeling,” he said, his voice still rough from sleep. He rolled me gently onto my back and kissed me properly, slow and warm. His hand stayed on my belly the whole time, thumb tracing small circles. The kiss deepened for a moment, then softened again. When he pulled back, his eyes were soft in the morning light. “I like waking up like this. With you.”We stayed in bed a little longer than usual. He asked

Unraveling Secrets

**Ava’s POV**The penthouse felt too quiet after everyone left. I walked from room to room, the marble cool under my bare feet, the city lights twinkling far below the glass walls. Ethan had gone to the office for a quick meeting he couldn’t cancel.He had kissed me on the forehead before leaving, promised he would be back soon, and told me to rest. I tried. I really did. But the silence pressed in on me until I couldn’t sit still anymore.I picked up my phone and dialed Sandra. She answered on the second ring, her voice bright but a little breathless.“Hey, bestie! What’s up?”I smiled even though she couldn’t see me. “Nothing much. Just feeling a little lonely in this big place. Thought maybe we could talk for a bit.”There was a short pause on her end. I heard a low male voice in the background, then Sandra’s soft laugh.“Aw, Ava, I’m so sorry. I’m actually really busy right now. Can I call you back later?”I raised an eyebrow, even though she couldn’t see it. “Busy with Ji-Hoon, r

Words that cut deep

Ava’s POVMy heart flipped.The words kept echoing in my head, sharp and cold, like ice sliding down my spine. I stood frozen in the hallway, one hand pressed tight against the wall to keep myself steady. Clara’s voice carried through the cracked door, raw and desperate, but the way she said it made my stomach twist even harder.“You’re right, girl,” Clara said on the line, her tone brightening suddenly, almost excited. “Besides, I am the one who is supposed to be Ethan’s wife. Yes, I am his first love. He possibly can’t get over me in such a haste.”Vicky’s reply was muffled, but I caught the encouraging hum. Clara laughed, a shaky sound that didn’t feel like laughter at all. It felt like something sharper. Something dangerous.I couldn’t listen anymore. My legs moved before my brain could catch up. I turned and hurried downstairs, trying to keep my steps quiet on the carpet. My heart was pounding so hard I could feel it in my throat. When I reached the bottom step, the front door ope
